Da Yin's first time to eat the "spicy" thing, did not watch out for vigilance, clamped a lot, and swallowed it before tasting the taste, but the spicy taste pasted his voice, and immediately tears came out, opened his mouth wide and stuck out his tongue, desperately fanning his hand to fan his tongue.

"It's hot!" Dayin shouted, thinking about it and feeling that it was wrong, he looked at Sister Qiu and shouted: "What does this taste like, it's spicy compared to the garlic grown by his milk at the root of the tree!" ”

A group of people all laughed at the appearance of the big seal, and each commented on it, and all felt that the taste was a little strange, saying that it was spicy and different from the spicy garlic, but it was very delicious, and after eating the first bite, even if it was choked on the spicy, I still wanted to eat it.

Sister Qiu poured half a bowl of cold water for Dayin, asking him to eat it slowly, and when he calmed down, Dayin immediately began to eat the fish in the river, desperately shouting: "Delicious, fragrant!" ”

Li Zhongquan smiled and said, "Is this made of hibiscus powder?" It's fashionable in the tavern. ”

Sister Qiu smiled and nodded, she didn't eat much boiled river fish made by herself, in the end, compared to the taste in her memory, this dish was a little lighter, but this did not prevent them from winning the joy of Dayin, who had never eaten spicy.

Seeing that children love to eat, adults don't stretch out wooden chopsticks after tasting a few wooden chopsticks. Sister Qiu opened the upper layer of river fish fillets, pulled out the water tofu and soybean sprouts below, and said with a smile: "Uncle, aunt, you can taste the soybean sprouts, no worse than the water tofu!" ”

When she came back in the morning, Li Ailian looked at the soybean sprouts covered with a cloth in the corner, and felt that the broken beans had not been thrown away. ”

"You can eat it!" Chunhua then said with a smile, "In the past two days since you were away, we have all eaten several meals of soybean sprouts, which are crispy and delicious." ”

After a meal, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. Zhang Ruoxu smiled and praised Sister Qiu, "I didn't expect my cousin's craftsmanship to be so good, and I also followed the sticky light." ”

"Sister Yuxiu is also quite good at cooking, and the baked pancakes are delicious." Sister Qiu said with a smile that Zhang Yuxiu's cooking is not as good as her, but the level of dough kneading pancakes is a must.

Lin Cheng and Li Changjiao are more able to talk, the two of them have almost eaten a pound of wine, all of them are red-faced, and they are elated, and they have the intention of seeing each other late.

Sister Qiu saw that everyone was eating almost the same, so she asked Lin Zhun and the two to work together to bring a large pot of river fish head water tofu soup. I have just eaten dishes with heavy oil and salt, and at this moment I have a light water tofu soup, which aroused everyone's appetite again, and successively said that my full belly was about to be broken, and I ate two bowls of soup heroically, which made everyone laugh.

After eating, Jia and Li Ailian picked up the dishes, Aunt Chunhua helped on the side, Lin did sit in the courtyard with Li Zhongquan to continue talking, and Sister Qiu sent a few children to Jia's family, don't let them interfere in the work.

It was still early, it was dusk, the sun had not yet set, and the final afterglow was diffused. A few people walked on the country road together, listening to the chirping of small insects and ants and birds on the side of the road, blowing the cool evening breeze, very arbitrary.

"Let's get the knot

It's awesome! "Da Yin proposed, "Last night, his father took the donkey out to touch it, and said that there were many trees on it, and he touched several catties in one night." ”

The big seal said that the stick is the larva of the cicada buried in the soil, burrowing out of the soil and climbing to the tree to molt, taking advantage of this time to catch back, soak in light salt water overnight, fry it and eat it, fragrant.

After coming here for a long time, Sister Qiu is not very adaptable, but always feels weird, people here can accept eating sticks, but they don't dare to eat water tofu and soybean sprouts, in her opinion, it is even more terrible to look ugly and stick sticks!

"Okay!" Zhang Yuxiu shouted happily, she likes to eat fried knots. However, after calling it out, she found that she was the only one who had attached the big seal, Zhang Ruoxu Lin Zhun and Sister Qiu were all on the side and did not say a word, so she felt a little embarrassed, and said with a slight red face: "Then, don't you want to go?" ”

Sister Qiu laughed, she actually didn't like to eat those Xu very much, but she couldn't bear to sweep away the interest of Dayin and her cousin, so she nodded and said, "Go, catch a few more insects and ants, and go back and feed them to the chickens." ”

Nowadays, the chickens in the family can live in a simple chicken pen, which is Lin Zhun inserted a circle of branches, and then wrapped a circle on the branches with cloth strips, barely able to live in a circle, and want to want a chicken pen that can shelter from the wind and rain, you can only wait for the busy autumn planting, and the big guys are all from time to time.

Sister Qiu took a cloth bag from her house, and she caught crickets and grasshoppers in the grassland field next to the small mountain forest with Lin Zhun and Zhang Ruoxu, and Da Yin led Zhang Yuxiu to feel the stick in the small mountain forest.

A few people were busy, so they heard someone shouting "Qiu Gui'er", and shouted several times, as if they were looking for someone.

There are two people named Qiu Guier in the village, one is called Song Guihua, a 3-year-old Xiao Nizi, and the other is Wu Qiuguier, who is the daughter-in-law who grinds beans for Sister Qiu's family.

Sister Qiu instinctively felt that she was looking for Song Guihua's little lady, so she didn't care, and continued to follow Lin Zhun to catch grasshoppers, there were a lot of grasshoppers in the grass, and they could cover one or two insects and ants with almost an ear scrape. Sister Qiu, the insect ant caught by several people, put it in a cloth bag, ready to go home and pour it for the chickens.

After a while, the man who shouted before ran to Sister Qiu, and after shouting "Qiu Gui'er" a few times in all directions, he asked Lin Zhun anxiously: "Da Zhun, have you looked at your Aunt Qiu Gui'er?" Sister Qiu asked again: "Old Xiucai's daughter, is Qiu Gui'er not at your house?" ”

Dazhun got up in surprise and asked, "What?" Aunt Qiu Gui'er is missing? We had just come out of her house, and Aunt Qiu Gui'er was not there. ”

The man's face was covered with sweat drops the size of beans, and the clothes on his body were as if they had been fished out of the water, and his eyebrows were full of anxiety, and he rubbed his hands together and said, "Eh, I didn't see anyone at dinner, and I searched for everything inside and out, and now...... Huh! ”

"Don't worry, don't worry." Dazhun hurriedly relieved, "Aunt Qiu Gui'er is a big living person, can she still run away?" It must be where to nag, I forgot the time. Do you know where Aunt Qiu Gui'er often goes? Have you ever asked someone's home? ”

"Asked!" The man sighed, "the family."

I've inquired about it. ”

Sister Qiu interjected at this time: "When did you find out that Aunt Qiu Gui'er was missing?" Did she find all the places she frequented? Sister Qiu was not worried when she asked, Qiu Guier is a person in her early 20s, and she has not heard of abductors in the village, so it is expected that there will be no safety problems.

"Found." The man preached.

"It's going to be fine." Sister Qiu comforted him and said, "It's all about this, Aunt Qiu Gui'er is going home, you go home and take a look, maybe Aunt Qiu Gui'er is already at home." ”

Lin Zhun saw that the man's face was full of anxiety, so he became suspicious and asked, "Uncle, what's going on?" ”

Qiu Gui'er's husband hesitated for a long time, and then his purple face turned red and said, "In the afternoon, Qiu Gui'er had a few words with my mother and my sister-in-law...... She was very angry...... It's gone again......"

The implication is that he is worried that his daughter-in-law and son have found a short-term view.

"How...... Not really. Sister Qiu said, "Did you go to Aunt Qiu Gui'er's mother's house to see?" ”

Country women are angry at their husbands' houses, and most of them want to go back to their mothers' houses to complain. Let's talk about it again, Aunt Qiu Gui'er and two children, and if you talk a few words with your mother-in-law and sister-in-law, then you will find a short-term meeting.

Qiu Gui'er's husband shook his head, "It's not here, I just came back from my father-in-law's house, ......" After speaking, he looked at the empty country road, squatted on the ground with his head in pain, sighed fiercely, and went to his father-in-law's house, and didn't dare to say that his daughter-in-law was missing. Sister Qiu saw that a pair of shoes on his feet were full of dirt and blades of grass, and she had been looking for a long time.

The man absentmindedly "en" and smiled bitterly, things can only be expected like this now.

Sister Qiu followed Lin Zhun and Zhang Ruoxu and walked forward, shouting "Aunt Qiu Gui'er" from time to time, hoping that she could hear it. Sister Qiu has the impression that Qiu Gui'er is a quiet little daughter-in-law, her clothes and shoes are always clean, her arms and legs are very sharp, and she can talk to Jia's family.

"Aunt Qiu Gui'er doesn't seem to be someone who can't be careful!" Sister Qiu pulled Lin Zhun's palm and whispered, "She still has two children!" ”

Lin Zhun also felt that Qiu Gui'er's husband didn't finish his words, "It must be very noisy, otherwise it will ......" Lin Zhun didn't continue, if it wasn't for the great contradiction, which woman would want to seek death?

"No matter how many we have, it's someone else's housework." Lin Zhun continued to preach, and then said to Zhang Ruoxu: "Let's find a moment longer, and when it's dark, we'll go back." ”

Zhang Ruoxu nodded, if Qiu Gui'er really had something wrong, it was an adult's business, and they couldn't interfere.

A few children didn't look for a moment, then they listened to the chaotic footsteps behind them, and turned their heads to see that the Jia family also found the torches they had lit with firewood, and there were also a few torches flashing on the side of the small river not far away.

"Mother, why did you come out?" Sister Qiu asked in surprise.

Jia said: "Your Aunt Qiu Gui'er is gone, no, we are in a hurry, and we all came out to look for it." "The dealer is all in the house

It's all like this, the family is busy with things, as long as the people in the village are okay, they are all willing to help.

While a few people were talking, they heard someone on the side of the creek shouting: "Found it, found it!" People are here! And they hurried over.

When Sister Qiu ran over, she saw Qiu Gui'er sitting on the ground, covering her face and crying, her lower body was wet, as if she had just been fished out of the water.

The man who found Qiu Gui'er wiped his sweat and said: "It's so dangerous, I was walking towards the river when I looked at her, no matter how I called it, she didn't turn her face back, half of her body was flowing into the river, I went down and dragged her up for a long time!" ”

At this time, the river rose violently, the original only a small river with a width of a few feet, now it is five or six meters wide, and the water flow is also urgent.

Someone ran to report to Qiu Gui'er's family, Jia and Aunt Chunhua went over to wipe Qiu Gui'er's face, and Jia said heartache: "Sister, what can't you think of to find a short meeting?" No matter how big it is, won't it just pass? Don't think about it, think about it for your two children! ”

Qiu Gui'er cried uncontrollably, shook her head incessantly, and cried for a long time: "Sister-in-law, you want me to die, I can't live this life!" They have eaten my flesh and my blood, and they think my muscles are not delicious! ”

Qiu Gui'er's family was all searching not far away, and all of them quickly ran over after hearing the news of this work, just listening to Qiu Gui'er's words, Qiu Gui'er's grandmother and husband stood there with embarrassed faces, and Qiu Gui'er's sister-in-law was unhappy, like a cannonball, opened her mouth and said: "Who do you say eats your blood and eats your flesh?" Who's going to do with you? Bury my family in front of the whole village! ”

"Shut up!" Qiu Gui'er's husband scolded him, "You don't have to speak!" ”

Qiu Gui'er's sister-in-law stomped her feet angrily, pointed to Qiu Gui'er on the ground and shouted, "Isn't she fine!" It's all like this, it's going to die early, and it's inconvenient to make trouble if it's dragged on here! What kind of scare our father and our mother! Brother, are you still a man? I can't even take care of my daughter-in-law, and she'll be honest if she shaves her ears again! ”

"What are you talking about?" Aunt Chunhua couldn't stand it, stood up and said, "How about your sister-in-law, with your brother and your mother in charge, is it your turn to open your mouth for an unmarried daughter?" ”

Qiu Gui'er's mother-in-law scolded Aunt Chunhua very shamelessly, but she couldn't find a word of refutation, and at that moment she pulled the daughter who wanted to argue with Chunhua, and screwed her fiercely, reprimanded her a few words, and asked her to go home.

Sister Qiu keenly caught Qiu Gui'er's sister-in-law's words, and "again" shaved her ears...... It seems that Qiu Gui'er's husband was too rough with her before, Qiu Gui'er is usually clean and decent, and this kind of thing is probably unacceptable.

All of them are daughters-in-law, and they know that it is not easy to be a daughter-in-law. To do work at home, to serve the in-laws, but also to serve the sister-in-law. If the in-laws are reasonable, the husband is painful, and the sister-in-law understands things, life will be a little better, if there is such a difficult sister-in-law to serve

Granny, and a husband who beats people......

Sister Qiu somewhat understands that Qiu Gui'er doesn't even want the two children to go to find the cause of death, and it hurts her heart to see it.

"It's just a few words, nothing happens." Qiu Gui'er's mother-in-law sighed, squatted in front of Qiu Gui'er, and said, "Go home, your sister-in-law is hard-mouthed and soft-hearted, and she is in a hurry to find you." Don't have this idea in the future, let's live a good life in the future! ”

It is estimated that the mother-in-law was also frightened by the daughter-in-law, and the speech was all soft and soft.

Qiu Gui'er's husband also hurriedly said: "Yes, let's live a good life in the future, today is my hand, I will move you again, and I will not die well!" ”

"yes." Jia Shi persuaded, "What about the two children, how can you give it up?" Hurry home and don't think about anything. ”

Qiu Gui'er cried and shook her head, took a deep breath, suppressed her crying, and looked at Jia Shi and Chunhua for a long time before she said, "Sister-in-law, you don't know about those things in my family...... I work in your house, earn ten copper plates a day, and give them all to my mother, I have nothing to say...... My eldest sister, every time she came back to the house, she took everything to her house, and I didn't feel a word of dissatisfaction...... But today, today's ......" Qiu Gui'er cried as she spoke, and she couldn't help herself.

"Don't say it!" Qiu Gui'er's mother-in-law hurriedly ate, "All of them are relatives, what do you say you can't take!" Your eldest sister's family is not having a good time, what happened to her mother's family? ”

Qiu Gui'er grabbed Jia's palm, ignored her mother-in-law's angry cry, and said to Jia's with tears in her eyes: "Sister-in-law, I don't dare to spend a penny of money I earn!" If it were for my in-laws, would I be happy? But today, my mother-in-law secretly gave my eldest sister 100 copper plates behind my back, and said that I earned it and asked her to use it as much as possible! ”
